Before I begin each trip, I plan ahead what I want to wear and bring on my journey. For 2-4 day trips I will carry 2-3 outfits, and 2 pairs of shoes. For overnight trips, I carry as less as possible.
Other things to do before your trip:
* Check the weather of your destination
* Have at least 3 contact numbers written down
* Copy of your ID or passport
* Make sure your luggage is the proper size for a carry on
How to Pack Like a Pro:
There are several videos on YouTube that you can watch... We love YouTube it is a great resource tool.
* Place your shoes in a shoebag and place them at the bottom of your luggage
* Roll your pants and blouses and skirts
* For dresses, I like to put them in that plastic that you get from the cleaners and fold them over once and place on top of everything else.
* Don't forget your pajamas or lounge wear
* Bring a swimsuit, you never know, you may want to get in the jacuzzi at the hotel
* Don't bring your expensive jewelry
* Always bring a tote bag for toiletries and water bottles, etc.
* Carry handwipes
* Bring your own headphones
Travel Tips:
* If your bag is oversized, you can check it at the gate as a courtesy
* Check in for your flight online if possible
* Arrive at airport early at least 1 -3 hours before your boarding time
* Get through security quickly by enrolling in TSA Pre-check, go to TSA.Gov website
* Don't post your travel itinerary on social media
* Make sure your luggage has your name, address and phone number
* Do not place your wallet or computer in the seatback pocket
* Carry an empty water bottle
* Always bring a sweater or travel blanket, a lot of airlines dont provide them
* Onboard the airplane, always know your nearest emergency exit location
At The Hotel:
* Always be friendly to hotel staff, ask for a possible free upgrade. Give them a small gift of appreciation
* Join the hotels rewards program
* Do not place luggage on the floor ~ Use the luggage rack
* Check bed for bed bugs
* Sanitize the remote control
* Ask the hotel desk where is the nearest drug store or hospital, in case of emergency
* Always know your nearest exit location out of the hotel
How To Prevent Jet Lag:
